error : remote gerrit already exists

Question

I am trying to add remote gerrit but I am getting the error as :

fatal: remote gerrit already exists.

how to remove existing gerrit?

Answer 1

You didn't list what command was causing this error output, but I assume it was something like:

git remote add gerrit <url>

If you already have a remote named gerrit, you will get this error. You can see what remotes are in your repository with

git remote -v

To remove a remote, use

git remote rm <name>

name is 'gerrit' in your case.

Answer 2

A remote which name "gerrit" already exists. You can find it by:

git remote -v

So, remove this old remote:

git remote rm gerrit

Then add it again:

git remote add gerrit <url>
